✨ Technical Specifications
The 2010 Grange represents a monumental milestone in the history of Australia's most celebrated wine, marking the 60th consecutive vintage release of this legendary label. The 2010 growing season in South Australia was nothing short of spectacular, characterized by optimal winter rainfall and a mild, warm spring that allowed for slow, even ripening. This vintage is a masterclass in multi-regional blending, sourcing fruit predominantly from the Barossa Valley, alongside components from the Clare Valley, Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale, and the historic Magill Estate. Composed of 96% Shiraz and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine underwent fermentation in stainless steel before being matured for 17 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads. This meticulous process has forged a wine of immense power, structural integrity, and profound complexity, carrying the legacy of Max Schubert's original vision into a modern masterpiece.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1844 by Dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold and his wife Mary at the Magill Estate in South Australia, Penfolds is one of Australia's oldest and most iconic wine producers. The estate achieved legendary international acclaim during the 1950s under visionary chief winemaker Max Schubert, who created Penfolds Grange and revolutionized the country's winemaking techniques. Driven by a celebrated philosophy of multi-regional and multi-varietal blending, Penfolds sources exceptional fruit across historic Australian terroirs—such as the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra—as well as select premier global regions. The house is universally revered for powerful, impeccably structured, and long-lived wines, led by its flagship Grange, Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon, and celebrated Bin series.
